Something extraordinary is happening in the fantasy world of the Warmists. As temperatures have stabilised (and even started to fall)�for the last 15 years while CO2 emissions have rocketed, completely discrediting the theory that CO2 can be responsible for warming, the Warmists have become every more shrill in their insistence that humans are responsible for�global warming�(which incidentally�isn’t actually happening).
In the First Assessment Report (1990) by the�Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) the experts concluded that human activity was probably not responsible for variations in climate, “The observed (20th century) temperature increase could be largely due to natural variability”.
In the Second Assessment Report (1996), the writers concluded that there was no evidence that humans were causing warming, “None of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed changes to the specific cause of increases in greenhouse gases, No study to date has positively all or part (of the climate change observed to (man-made causes).
That really should have been the end of the Global Warming panic. But by then the IPCC had been hijacked by environmental activists and one of the lead authors of the Second Assessment Report “helpfully” removed the paragraphs saying that there was no proof humans were responsible for warming and instead concluded, “The balance of the evidence suggests a discernible human influence on climate” And that entirely false claim was a key element of the “Summary for Policymakers” that went to the politicians that are now destroying our economies and jobs with their pointless green taxes.
This change led to the angry�resignation of several of the authors of the original text. But by then the activists didn’t care – tens of millions in grants were pouring in and the politicians were jumping on the Global Warming bandwagon.
In the Third Assessment Report (2001) two years after the earth’s climate stopped warming, the lies got even bigger. “There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities”
And incredibly, in the Fourth IPCC Assessment Report (2007),�after 8 years of no observed warming while the amount of CO2 being emitted continued to�shoot up, the “experts”�closed their eyes to what was really happening and insisted, “Most of the observed increase in globally-averaged temperature is very likely (=90% probable) due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations”.
You almost couldn’t make it up.
And, by the way, in spite of the warnings from the figure-fiddling, data-manipulating liars lucratively riding on the Global Warming gravy train, this isn’t actually happening:
As a general rule of thumb, if the left believe something to be right, far more often than not it is wrong.
